What's more, on the same extraordinary day, he meets Sistine Bailey, a girl who shows her feelings as readily as Rob hides his. As they learn to trust each other, and ultimately, to be friends, Rob and Sistine prove that some things--like memories, and heartache, and tigers--can't be locked up forever.

I finished the story, but apparently Rob wasn't finished with me. He hung around for weeks afterward, haunting the other stories I was working on. Finally, I said to him, 'What in the world do you want?' And he said, 'I know where there's a tiger.' Like Sistine, I said one word back to him, 'Where?' THE TIGER RISING is how Rob Horton answered me.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Candlewick Press (MA)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48108917326061,"sku":"9780763680879","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/files\/img_e7a59601-11a4-40aa-80b8-b315998af6ab.jpg?v=1747589337","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/the-tiger-rising-a-middle-grade-novel-about-grief-courage-friendship-and-finding-your-voice-for-kids-ages-9-11-in-grades-5-6-9780763680879","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
